Going Down the Road Feeling Bad: Traditional
Arranged by Grateful Dead
Note: This covers the rhythm guitar portion of this song. The chord voicings used by Bob Weir in the song
are included below, however, I find it sounds better using the standard voicings if playing
unaccompanied. When the Dead play, the keyboards and Bass take up the lower end so Weir will generally
play higher voicings using bar chords to fill out the mix.
A = x-0-7-6-5-5 E = 0-7-6-4-5-4 D = x-x-0-7-7-5 C#m = x-4-6-6-5-4 B = x-x-9-8-7-7
